Any geeks who live in the Metro-Atlanta area (or are willing to travel there), listen up! There's a new Con in town. Not in competition with Dragon*Con or AWA or MomoCon, but rather standing alongside them. That new Con is AndoCon, a weekend-long gaming convention.

That's right- rather than focusing on a particular topic like anime, or catering to cosplayers specifically, AndoCon is about coming together to have fun playing board games, card games, and role-playing games. We'll have some panels featuring game designers as well. We are friendly to newcomers and we have some easy-to-learn "gateway" games to ease you in, and we also have more challenging in-depth games for experts. RPGs aren't limited to the obvious D&D- we support any RPG that anyone we know can run. And in case you get gamed out and want to sit back and laugh to some Internet hilarity, we also have a Video Track where some of the best and funniest stuff the Internet has to offer will be shown.

So if this sounds like the Con for you (and if you're a geeky gamer at all, it is!), we would LOVE to have you join us! You can find out all the information you need to know - and register for free entry - at http://www.AndoCon.org

If you check out the website and click on "Tracks", you'll get an early idea of what's being offered. I am working with the gaming track director to get a better, more thorough description on that page, but for now, it'll at least give you an idea of some of the games we will have available.

We also are encouraging attendees to bring any games they have and want to share. That way, if we don't have it, you can teach us!

We've heard of the Atlanta Gamefest, and I believe my gaming track director at least has attended.
